🌿🌍 আন্তর্জাতিক বন দিবস ২০২৫ 🌍🌿

এই ২১শে মার্চ, সারা বিশ্বজুড়ে পালিত হয় আন্তর্জাতিক বন দিবস, এবারের থিম "বন ও খাদ্য"। 🌳🍎
বন শুধু পরিবেশের ভারসাম্য রক্ষা করে না, এটি আমাদের খাদ্যের গুরুত্বপূর্ণ উৎসও। ফলমূল, বাদাম, মধু, ঔষধি গাছসহ বিভিন্ন প্রাকৃতিক সম্পদ সরাসরি বন থেকে আসে, যা মানুষের পাশাপাশি প্রাণীকুলেরও জীবনধারণে সহায়তা করে।

আসুন, বন সংরক্ষণ ও পুনরুদ্ধারে সক্রিয় ভূমিকা পালন করি, যাতে প্রাকৃতিক সম্পদ ভবিষ্যতেও আমাদের খাদ্য ও জীবিকার যোগান দিতে পারে। সবুজ বন, নিরাপদ ভবিষ্যৎ! 🌱💚
